When the Villainess Died, the Male Lead Went Crazy - Chapter 30

Chapter 30

As he heard my words, Kylian looked directly at me. Anais was still by his side.

Anyway, when the high priest wakes up and I return to my body, everything will be resolved.

“You’re ruining people’s mood with such nonsensical words again.”

“I beg your pardon?”

“You, afraid of doves? Ha.”

It was embarrassing because I realized again that I said it now, while I was in Lilith’s body. It wouldn’t be convincing. But because my hair’s blue, Kylian would think that there might be another soul in Lilith’s body. Phileal also took my side when we talked before.

So even if it was embarrassing, I should say something. But my lips would not open as if they’d been glued shut.

“I will allow you to have the diary. No matter what you try, no matter what you do, I don’t need anyone but Anais. Even if she can’t get her memories back.”

“…….”

“It’s no use even if you say that.”

I was dazed, but he grabbed me by the collar and let go, just like when we first met again.

Still, even with that said, he was wavering. Even if he said nothing, I could read Kylian’s confused expression.

It’s only natural, considering how long we had been together as a couple.

“You can’t say that with those eyes, Your Majesty.”

I felt pain in the bones of my right arm. It hurt enough to make it difficult to breathe, but the unpleasant feeling made me want to leave more.

Could it be that the one inside my body right now was the original Anais? Could it be that Anais, who was completely asleep after I possessed her in my second life, woke up after I died?

But it was Lilith who was afraid of doves.

Why did Lilith pretend to be me while I was asleep after I got shot? If Lilith hadn’t done that, talking to Killian might have been a little easier.

“Because the danger of possession is too great. One person must be completely asleep. No one knows what the side effects will be. So, the only people who came out to sacrifice were me and Lilith.”

Suddenly, Lewarren’s words came to mind.

So as I thought, is that the real Anais? What is the probability that a completely unrelated soul will enter? I really should ask Phileal later.

“Then see you later.”

“Wait.”

“Ahh!”

As I turned my back and tried to walk away, I groaned in pain as he tugged at my arm. It was my right arm that he pulled, I really have no luck.

“When did you learn swordsmanship? No, how…”

He forced open my hand, exposing my swollen palm. I expected it to be messed up because it was the first time this hand was holding the sword. There were several blisters, red and torn in places.

“How could you do that with a hand that had never held a sword before…”

Even the slightest touch of air hurt my right arm. Besides, I was a tough guy who would lie in bed all day even if I just bumped my little toe in the doorway. But my mouth spewed out something else.

“You’re upset that you lost. Aren’t you?”

“…….”

If he doesn’t believe it when I say it, I have to make him believe me by showing it with my actions. So I didn’t say it, I don’t know why, but Lilith pretended to be me.

Oh maybe. Is the reason why Lilith pretended to be me because Killian went crazy? Did she pretend to be me to bring him back to his senses? If that’s the case, I understand. In my eyes, Lilith was such a self-sacrificial child. It was clear that something wrong happened, and so she needed to pretend to be me.

Then, behind me, I saw Anais, who was looking this way with a calm face unlike before.

Someone who can be so childish to me. So after all, is she the original owner of this body?

“It hurts, so please let go.”

“…….”

He slowly lowered his hand, probably noticing that my arm had become injured.

“…….”

“When the high priest wakes up later, I will go too. I’ll talk to you again then.”

As Phileal was looking at me with a puzzled expression, I grabbed him by the sleeve and dragged him away. I didn’t want to go to my room for some reason, so I headed for Phileal’s room.

“Are you going to my room?”

“Huh.”

“Why?”

“If I go to my room, I think Lewarren will be waiting for me.”

“Why?”

If the high priest of death wakes up today, there is a good chance that I’d return. Maybe so. I didn’t want to make things that would make me have lingering feelings. I don’t know why I fought against Killian. I didn’t have to work hard to do something that I could just wait for.

In fact, I already knew the answer. I must have wanted to spend time with Killian at least a moment longer before dying again. Ironically.

“Phileal.”

“Yes?”

“My arm hurts. I feel like I’m going to die.”

“If I share my energy, will you recover faster?”

“Huh.”

What a quick-witted guy. He smiled and said he would give me energy even if I only hinted at it.

“I want to carry you on my back.”

“I broke my arm. I’ll die if you carry me on your back.”

“I’ll share my energy and then carry you.”

“Okay.”

Perhaps he wanted to go somewhere inconspicuous, he slowly led me to a place where there were few people.

Wisteria trees were planted throughout the palace, and the fragrant scent was emanating either from the wisteria tree or from Phileal.

The place where we stopped was where there were transparent chairs and tables. Come to think of it, the flower garden the previous empress had made looked like this. I thought about it as I walked.

“Sit here.”

“Yes.”

He grabbed my broken right arm and poured energy on it. Then it turned into a really tolerable pain.

“Now I am in a position to help you.”

“Now? It sounds strange?”

I intended to ask him about Anais.

“We met at the Goddess of Flowers’ exhibition.”

“With Lilith?”

“No, with Anais.”

When he was finished sharing his energy, Phileal squatted down on the ground, trying to carry me, and he naturally lifted me up. My left arm was wrapped around his neck and my right arm rested behind his back, which was better than expected.

“Anais.”

“Huh.”

“I am younger than you.”

“I see.”

I expected him to be young. His face looked young, so I just couldn’t figure out how much of a difference there was.

“Don’t you remember when you saved me from the collapsed tower?”

Come to think of it, the Goddess of Flowers was famous for saving money for priests. Because the Goddess of Flowers was not very high in rank, the flowers bloomed on their own without the goddess giving blessings. Therefore, only nobles visit the temple and manage the garden.

The problem was that the nobles didn’t manage it too hard. Later, there was a big accident at the Temple of Flowers, so the nobles were reluctant to do so.

“The one I saved was a girl.”

“Hehehe.”

“No way, are you a girl?”

“Not really?”

Surprised, I stroked the arm that was holding his neck down, and his Adam’s apple was very clearly protruding.

“Ah, it tickles.”

“What have I done…”

Startled by Phileal’s pause, I checked to see if my right arm was moving. Luckily it moved. I loosened my arms, thinking that if he got angry, I would run away.

“At that time, I dressed as a woman for a while.”

“You even dressed as a woman… No, don’t tell me.”

“Why?”

“I don’t want to get involved anymore.”

“…….”

At that time, in simple terms, it went on like this. Due to poor construction, there were many weak structures except for the main hall of the Goddess’ temple. The girl, who was apparently Phileal, was on his turn to bring flowers to the nearby tower, but at that time, the tower collapsed. Because an earthquake happened.

He wasn’t hurt because he was next to a pillar, but he was in a dangerous situation because he was crushed by a pile of stones that seemed to collapse at any moment. I had the knights of Duchy Percival remove the rubbles. I also worked hard

“You don’t want to get involved, so why did you work so hard to find me then?”

“…….”

“You kept talking to me and comforting me not to worry.”

“…….”

That’s because if he faints under the rubble, he won’t be able to locate me.

“You worked so hard that your palms were all torn. To the extent that your gloves are worn out.”

“…I don’t remember.”

“Really?”

“Huh.”

At that time, rather than saving Phileal, I wanted to save him because of the trauma of my first life. It reminds me of myself who was trembling with fear because I was trapped in a dark place.

“Were you nice to me because of that memory?”

“Yes.”

“Why did you dress as a woman?”

“The God of Death wanted to have the High Priest of Flowers.”

I’m a fool for expecting a normal answer.

“So you went undercover and fooled the High Priest? Come to think of it, the High Priest of Flowers disappeared right after that happened.”

“Right. I’m good right?”

“How can I understand the thoughts of the priests of Death?”

“Thank you for the compliment. I’m glad you said that.”

Somehow, after knowing that I was Anais, he acted strangely nice. I knew that priests of death couldn’t even help others, so I was wondering why he was good to me.

“You owe me.”

“Yes.”

“Then will you do me a favor?”

“No.”

“Why?”

“Because if it’s a request from you, I won’t be able to do it.”

“Are you really going to be like this?”

“Yes.”

It seemed that I should give up the conversation. Resentfully, I squeezed him very tightly with my left arm, causing his thick neck to choke a little before regaining my composure. Yes, what kind of threat will this position?

Suddenly, I heard a sound and looked back. There was Kylian, who approached in surprise, but turned away when our eyes met.

“You will be misunderstood as being on the same side as me.”

“Aren’t we on the same side?”

“Oh.”

I didn’t want to think about it, so I buried my face in his back and closed my eyes.

Because they are the priests of the god of death, they say that their energy recovers faster at night. So the High Priest of Death has finally awakened. He still had a young-looking face, but he looked haggard. It was as if he hadn’t slept in a week and then came back after sleeping for only three hours.

I was with Anais and Kylian, Phileal and Leviathan and the sacrifices.

“My wife said she lost her memory. How did this happen?”

“…….”

The high priest stretched out his palm near the sleeping Anais and looked at her. A pentagon mark was seen in the high priest’s eyes. In his bright red eyes, I saw a star turning black.

“And it looks like Lilith Isadora has a bad soul in her body, too.”

Then he reached out to me as well, and seemed to be reading something.

When I met the eyes with the pentagram drawn on it, I felt somehow faint. As I stepped back in surprise, Phileal’s arm touched my back. He tapped me on the shoulder, reassuring me, but Kylian looked at it displeased before taking his eyes off it.

“Lady Anais has her proper soul in her body. Her memories will return soon.”

“What did you say?”

“And…”

Is this guy a scammer?

“Saint Lilith Isadora’s body has her proper soul too. It appears that she is telling lies to earn Your Majesty’s favor, just like when she summoned us.”

“Ha.”

Kylian’s expression contorted again and he glared at me.

“High Priest.”

When Phileal called the high priest, the high priest avoided his eyes.

“But her hair really had God’s power. I checked.”

Leviathan continued. He looked back and forth between me and Anais, looking like he couldn’t understand.

“It appears to be the trick of the High Priest of Destruction.”

Then Phileal said with an incomprehensible look

“High Priest, why are you lying?”
